Replace Air Conditioning Condenser
How long does it take to remove and replace the air conditioning condenser? I was a mechanic for 9 years. And I understand that I will need to take the car to garage to get the gas refilled.
I do not currently have access to that information. Is the Seat Ibiza similar to any other vehicles? This might allow me to cross reference them?
On other compact cars it typically takes around 2 hours. Does include front bumper cover removal. Does not include the recharge time.
